We are back in Guatemala after spending some time in Canada.We had a good flight down and enjoyed great seating and space on our red eye flight. For some reason we could not pre-check for our flights and had to get our seats assigned at the gate. I was muttering under my breath saying that we would probably be spread out and sitting in the back of the plane. Also since we had six carry-ons and several handbags I was complaining to Lia that the overhead bin space would be full and we would have to put the bags under the seat in front of us. Traveling with 4 kids can be a little stressful, but God was good and we got to sit in the front part of the plane where there was plenty of leg room and since people were traveling light we had plenty of space in the overhead compartments. Although we were not able to sleep much on the plane, we got enough rest to be coherent and we were able to get some well needed rest in the days following our arrival.
We really enjoyed our time in Canada connecting with family, friends and churches. It was a busy time, but the change of pace and scenery was nice and helped us relax. There were several highlight on the trip. One was celebrating my parents 40th anniversary at Sun Peaks resort in Kamloops, BC. Another was visiting several churches that we had not visited in a long time or never had visited. And the final highlight (although this might sound strange) was a funeral. During the next week or so I will tell you more about our trip. We are off to Cubulco tomorrow for a few days as there are a series of meetings with the consultant from the Bible Society. This will be exciting and I will write about that as well.
